Stars of David: Prominent Jews Talk about Being Jewish by Abigail Pogrebin

Abigail Pogrebin, a magazine journalist and former 60 Minutes reporter, engaged 61 of the country’s most famous Jews in candid conversations about being Jewish. While in the process of talking to folks like Dustin Hoffman, Steven Spielberg, Natalie Portman, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and Ronald Perelman, Abby realized she was asking them to confront questions she had never really asked herself and began a two-year course of intensive learning, culminating in becoming a bat mitzvah. She’ll discuss her Jewish journey and that of her celebrity subjects with mentor Rabbi Jen Krause, associate vice president at CLAL: The Center for Jewish Learning and Leadership. Wed, Nov 307:00 PM. $7.00 - Member $10.00 - Non-Member. Location: The JCC in Manhattan, 334 Amsterdam Ave. at 76th St. (Program room assignments will be available at the JCC Customer Service Desk, in the lobby of the Samuel Priest Rose Building.)
